The best way to do this is to just do it in multiple steps, so that you
can deal with any conflicts that might arise:

1. Optional (run svn update to get your entire project on HEAD). Deal
with conflicts.
2. Create the branch from your WC but using thea URL to URL copy option.
3. Switch to the branch. If you skipped step 1, then you may get updates
and conflicts in this step.
4. Commit to the branch.

That creates your shelf, and since the changes are now in a second
revision, they are easy to merge. Typically, you would now use switch to
move back to where you were. The nice thing with this technique, is that
new files that were added to the shelf will be deleted by the switch and
you will have a working copy that mirrors your trunk.
